BDPA Education and Technology Foundation (BETF) works hard to find the funds that support the BDPA programs, scholarships and services around the nation. We're not always successful ... but,
we are persistent and transparent. If we
win a grant ... we'll tell you! And if
we lost out on a grant ... we'll tell you. Today we're disappointed to report that PNC Bank didn't approve
our $2,500 grant proposal seeking support for BDPA Cincinnati chapter youth education programs such as the BDPA TECHie Camp program that graduated over 20 students last week at Taft STEM Elementary School.
Anyhow, the PNC declination letter read as follows:
Dear Mr. Hicks,
We have reviewed your request for sponsorship from the PNC and due to the substantial number of requests that we have received, among other things, we are not in a position to provide you with funding.
As I am sure you can understand, we are approached by a substantial number of worthy causes, such as yours, each year, and because of our limited resources, as well as our focus, we are not in a position to fund all of them.
We appreciate your interest in the PNC and we wish you the best of luck and success in your endeavor.
Sincerely,
Robie K. Suggs, vice president
Community Development Banking
Although we were unsuccessful in bringing home this grant ... we are still working with PNC Bank to support their efforts to recruit diverse information technology talent.
